Process for identifying the contents of bottles



Patented Jan. 26, 1932 ,KINSUKE 'KISI-IIDA, OF \VAKAYAMASHI, JAPANPROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING THE CONTENTS OF BOTTLES No Drawing. Applicationfiled July 9, 1928, Serial No. 291,498, and in Japan January 16, 1928.

This invention is an improved process of labelling and decorating abottle of transparent material, the object of the invention being toprovide an improved process by means of which a pattern of any desirablekind or design may be permanently placed on the inner surface of thewall of a bottle so that the pattern alone will be visible through thewall and will not appear to be on a label,

as hereinafter described and claimed.

In carrying out my improved process and in order to label or decorate abottle of transparent material, I provide a viscose or like transparentand flexible film with a suitable pattern or design on one of itssurfaces, which pattern or design may be printed, written, dyed,photographed or otherwise placed thereon, the pattern being produced inany suitable material which is insoluble in the designed content of thebottle.

The pattern film thus produced is placed in the bottle through the mouththereof and is caused to adhere to the inner surface of the wall of thebottle, so that the pattern alone will be seen through the transparentwall, the film on which the pattern is disposed being itself transparentand hence not visible, the effect being that the pattern will appear tobe floating in the interior of the bottle.

The pattern may be produced on the film simply with coloring matter, orby adhering decorative material to the film, said coloring matter anddecorating material being each insoluble in the liquid content of thebottle. In certain instances a film provided with a pattern as describedmay be attached to another, blank, film, with the interposition of thepattern between the films, or the pattern may be covered over with somesuitable vehicle which is insoluble in the liquid of the bottle.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

The herein described process of labelling
